The Workers’ Compensation Pharmacy Alliance was formed to advocate for sensible reform in the workers’ compensation pharmacy marketplace. Too many states were taking on reform efforts without any access or consideration of solid statistical information to guide their efforts. The lack of credible data often led to unmet expectations for policymakers, limited access to care for injured workers or negative financial results for local pharmacists. Part of our role is to help present information to policy makers and regulators so that they can make informed decisions that will bring about positive change and realistic cost savings in their workers’ compensation pharmacy systems while preserving access to quality pharmacy care. Our member companies, though they are fierce competitors, have united their efforts to preserve and enhance the positive role that third party providers can fill by working with insurance carriers and pharmacy providers to reduce administrative paperwork, speed payments to providers, and monitor dispensing practices and prescription fills for over-utilization, abuse or fraud. Our government relations team is active in all 50 states and is available to State Legislators, Regulators and other interested persons to provide information, data, and ideas on how to craft statutes and regulations to maintain a vibrant and cost-effective workers compensation pharmacy system.
